You are in charge of a plant that makes methyl bromide, CH3Br. This compound is used as a fumigant for nematodes. The thermochemical equation for the reaction is: CH3OH(aq) + Br−(aq) equilibrium reaction arrow CH3Br(aq) + OH −(aq) ΔH = +78 kJ/mol. You must maximize the yield of the product. Which of the following actions should you take? (Select all that apply.)
remove Br− ion
remove CH3OH
allow excess CH3Br to build up in the reaction
run the reaction with excess CH3OH
run the reaction with excess Br− ion
cool the reaction
heat the reaction
remove CH3Br as it is formed
